Susanna was born October 26, 1910, in Glendive, MT to Sebastian and Marian (Weber) Schloss. She was raised in Glendive, attending school and graduated from Dawson County High School. On November 5, 1935 she married Martin Freer in St. Phillips Catholic Church, Hirschville, ND. Together the couple made their home on a farm in Dunn County where, they raised their two sons. In 1969, after the death of her husband, Martin, Susanna moved into Dickinson and has made her home here since.


She enjoyed sewing, crocheting, cooking and baking. She was very fond of reading, dolls, crossword and jigsaw puzzles. Susanna was a farmer at heart in her interest in being outdoors tending to her garden and horses. She had a strong faith and devotion to her religious values along with being a member of St. Patrick’s Catholic Church.


Susanna’s love for life inspired many and will be greatly missed by her four grandchildren, Tracy (Roberta) Freer, Candace (Derrick “Bubba”) Smith, Cristie (Andy) Peters, Jerry (Carolyn) Freer, all of Dickinson; one great granddaughter, Irelynn Tommy Joy Smith and one sister, Margaret Schloss of Washington. Her husband, Martin, sons, Theodore and Thomas Freer, six brothers and five sisters, precedes her in death.
